I am a happily married southern woman. Russell and I have been married for 7 years now. We have an adorable baby boy, Jackson Randolph, born on April 21, 2014. He is our little miracle and we love him so much!! We have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Belle. We are loving life in Northwest Arkansas and love spending time with our family and friends. I keep this blog updated for 3 reasons: first of all, to spread the love of Jesus Christ to others, second, to help other people become more aware of brain cancer. It is very close to my heart. And third, just to keep things positive on my blog and try to make others smile! Click on my Daddy's picture below to learn more about brain cancer.

Thank ya'll for reading, and have a blessed day!

Reflecting back on 2013 has been amazing. It was emotional and exciting all rolled into one. But I would not change it for anything. I always do a recap of each year. Here's 2013 recap!

January

2013 began new beginnings. A new mindset, a few new resolutions, but most of all, continued prayers for our sweet future baby. I loved the verse from Jude that is written in the picture above. God is ABLE!!! His presence is GLORIOUS!! It was definitely a favorite verse throughout the whole year.

February

Russell and I had a romantic Valentine dinner at Crystal Bridges. It was so sweet and so yummy.

We also celebrated Russell's birthday on the 1st of the month.

March

We celebrated Spring at Camden's Daffodil Festival. It was so special and beautiful.

Easter was also this month.

April

We enjoyed taking walks around the trails in the area. It was so beautiful and fun walking with my sweet hubby.

Russell's parents, Jackie and Ricky, came to visit us this month as well.

May

Mother's Day was this month. Little did I know that in May 2014, our baby is due!

June

Summer was in full swing! Belle got her 1st haircut. We also saw Russell's cousin, BJ, play live in Craig Morgan's band!

July

We met Phil Robertson from Duck Dynasty! Although short, it was very fun!

My family came for a fun visit this month as well.

August

On August 31, I took my first positive pregnancy test. We will NEVER forget this day. Best day of this month for sure! HA!

September

We went to our first Arkansas Razorback football game together! It was great! Even if I was six weeks pregnant and sitting in direct sunlight. A little hot. HA!

October

Fall was very fun, as always. Filled with festive pumpkins, apple cider, and crunchy leaves!

November

We met Ree Drummond, aka The Pioneer Woman, for a second time! She was definitely amazing to talk to and I will always remember her genuine sweet spirit towards us.

Also this month was Thanksgiving! YUM! :)

December

December was definitely filled with many highlights. My favorite in particular, was when we found out that our sweet baby is a BOY!

We enjoyed Christmas so much with our dear family and each other.

We simply love celebrating. The more I read God's word, the more I just love celebrating life and blessings that the Lord has given us. I cannot be more thankful.

We are looking forward to 2014 so much!

Praying you are blessed with many wonderful moments of the year!

Happy New Year, y'all!

Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him. Psalm 34:8
